“Phonetics…”
Du Yinyun added, "Every grain of rice is hard-earned, so we can't waste any."
Fan Ziruo nodded thoughtfully. "Okay."
...
The Empress Dowager was originally extremely worried about her beloved daughter.
However, when Meng Qingqian went to the Empress Dowager to report that she was safe and sound, the Empress Dowager's eyes looked strange.
Compared to these young girls, the Empress Dowager was an experienced woman. Although there was no way to judge a girl's purity by her walking posture, there was indeed a great difference in temperament between women and girls.
Especially when you first taste the forbidden fruit.
Regardless of what others might say, these changes in Meng Qingqian could not escape the notice of her mother.
The Meng Qingqian of the past always had a cold face, and her eyes were like knives, so much so that even the Empress Dowager dared not look her in the eye. But now, although the girl still had a cold face and little expression, the spring in her eyes and the slight upturn of her lips could not be hidden from the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager felt a slight sense of panic.
She wasn't afraid that her daughter would lose her virginity before marriage; she was afraid that the person who would deflower her daughter wouldn't be He Yunxiao.
Very few people knew that Meng Qingqian and He Yunxiao had secretly agreed to get married. Only a few members of the Meng family, a few members of the Li family, and a few members of the He family knew about it.
Even his trusted confidants Yang Xingguang and Huang Qinghe were unaware of this.

The Empress Dowager asked hesitantly, "Qingqian, what do you think of Yang Zhe?"
Meng Qingqian frowned as she ate her meal. "Mother, do not speak while eating."
After a while, the Empress Dowager continued, "Qingqian, when He Yuanhao came to discuss the South Sea pearl betrothal gifts before, I found him to be quite rude..."
Meng Qingqian said disapprovingly, "Mother, you can't judge a book by its cover. Besides, the General is stationed abroad fighting enemies all year round. If he becomes refined, who will protect our Great Qi?"
"Then He Yunxiao..."
"What's wrong with He Yunxiao again?" Meng Qingqian slammed her chopsticks on the table. "Mother, you've been testing me with your words today. If you still consider me your own daughter, then please speak frankly."
Seeing her daughter's double standards, the Empress Dowager didn't want to talk about "Yang Zhe" at all, but she not only talked endlessly about "He Yunxiao" but also got angry on his behalf.
I understand.
"Qingqian, eat some vegetables, eat more, it'll help you recover."
The Empress Dowager didn't care about anything else and kept piling foods related to "nourishing the body" into Meng Qingqian's bowl. She even had red date and honey water specially prepared for her to drink after her meal to quench her thirst.
